I don’t know if you’ve been covering the story of this racist incident this insane heinous racist video involving the University of Oklahoma’s chapter of the SAE fraternity and the latest is that the University of Oklahoma yesterday expelled two students that were accused of playing a leadership
Role in this racist video one of the students issued an apology the family of the second student also did the song that they were caught singing on video goes there will never never be a in SAE there will never be a in SAE you can hang him from a tree but he
Can never sign with me there will never be a in SAE the video was posted online just a couple of days ago by unheard which is a black student group at Oklahoma University and it shows the students on a rented bus singing the song the song also makes references to lynching it
Says we’re never gonna accept blacks into our fraternities chapter here in Norman Oklahoma even though the chapter has actually had black members in the past there’s another layer to this which is that the school’s Delta Delta Delta sorority chapter also was feeling some of the heat because they had some
Members who were seen in the video but this has mostly been focused around SAE and there’s another piece to this now which has come out which is that the housemother for the the chapter of SAE initially expressed being appalled by these horrible videos and this is going
To be taken very seriously and so on and so forth except now there’s a video of her repeatedly using the n-word and just laughing it up take a look at this video this is not the issue of foremost importance when it comes to what’s going on on college campuses but this is
Absolutely insane that particular chapter of the frat has been dismantled and kicked off campus this housemother started fundraising for her because she said oh because the the frat chapter was dismantled I lost my job started fundraising and actually raised some of the money and then this video leaked of her saying
and now that fundraiser has been taken down as well and it amazes me with the recent fallout that around race and around these types of incidents wouldn’t you think that anyone who is smart enough to get into college would be smart enough not to go around singing
Songs like this and and I know that University of Oklahoma is only five percent black and and maybe there’s a feeling of comfort around this or safety that you’re not really going to get in trouble but broadly with regard to college students being racist kids are not born racist they are taught racism
From somewhere and who knows where they’re from it’s the the first place I would look obviously would be the parents but you could say well maybe it’s the the local media environment where they grew up or something you could make some other case but typically it does start with the parents of
Creating a framework of either racial understanding or racism and the the the link here in racism seems to follow SAE because four years ago at Cornell University the SAE chapter was also closed down and many members left the school altogether because they hazed a black student to death George de Joon
Who’s anis was an aspiring doctor was 19 years old sophomore from Brooklyn New York son of Haitian immigrants his hands and feet were tied with duct tape and zip ties he was blindfolded and he was given so much alcohol that he died within a few hours of the hazing all
Alone unconscious he was found dead by a college cleaning crew the next morning his mother filed a 25 million dollar wrongful death suit in the case just think about what’s going on right I mean this is tragic at its face but when viewed in light of the recent
Controversy at SAE we obviously have to wonder what the racial implications are broadly for SAE I saw on that the SAE spokesperson or some some PR guy for SAE saying there’s just nothing at all that that is connected specifically to SAE and racism here but we’ve seen numerous SAE chapter cited
For egregious racism at Clemson Washington University logo Thorpe Baylor Valdosta State as I mentioned Cornell and now University of Oklahoma will continue following the story and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we get some emails from the racism apologists saying that there’s some kind of double standard here and white people are
Oppressed and nobody takes white racism against white people seriously I anticipate that I don’t really care this is a story of racism and this is a very egregious story and the the number of factors at play here just absolutely sickening
